Status Board

Post and track system status updates with a severity level. Updates appear in a live feed sorted newest first.

Stack: React 19 + TypeScript (Vite) · Node.js + Express 5 + TypeScript · In-memory storage

If I had more time

• PostgreSQL: the store (getAllStatuses, createStatus, deleteStatus) is already isolated, would love to implement this.
• Tests: route handlers with supertest, components with React Testing Library
• Edit status: PATCH /api/statuses/:id with an inline edit mode on the card
• Add Drag-Drop: Would love to add a drap and drop feature, for multiple users to get custom status updates
